Abstract The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) provides a novel method for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the limitation of ICI alone prompts clinicians to explore the feasibility of radiotherapy combined with ICI. Recent studies on this combined therapy have preliminarily revealed its significant prospects for changing the treatment system of NSCLC. From the perspective of the mechanism of combined therapy, this study reviewed the basic research on this combined therapy and the clinical progress on different radiotherapy combined with ICI.
